Abstract
The study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Haemonchosis in randomly selected abattoirs in Zuru Emirate of Kebbi State, Nigeria from May 2017 to September, 2017. A total of 1, 536 small ruminants (goat and sheep) were examined. Overall prevalence of Haemonchus contortus in the study area was 54.88% with 58.44% and 750.84% prevalence in sheep and goat respectively. Female animals were found to harbor more worms (66.67%) than males (45.38%). Similarly, young animals recorded higher prevalence (74.71%) than adult animals (44.19%). Prevalence of the parasite showed that Sakaba had the highest (64.71%) in sheep and (57.95%) in goats, followed by Danko/wasagu with 61.46% in sheep and 58.24% in goats, Zuru with 53.88% in sheep and 49.46% in goats while Fakai recorded the least prevalence of 53.69% in sheep and 44.83% in goats. It can be concluded that H. contortus parasite was prevalent in Zuru Emirate Council of Kebbi State Nigeria.
